Any more luck with your centering issue? I have been trying to chase down a similiar issue for 3 years now. I have come to the conclusion that with the shackle reversal kit, the axle will just never be center. That's due to the extra space between the steel shackles and the leaf springs. I...

Happen to have any pictures?

Hey there Jeff! I didn't realize you were here too. Thought you were just on jeepforum! Good to see ya. Thank you for the feedback! This is exactly the type of info I was looking for. So what sort of reinforcement did you do? Happen to have any pics? From your experience of this...

Anyone here have experience with brutes? Or frame extended TJ's? Wheel base similiar to that of a older Ford Ranger?

Sweet trailer! I've been following for a good bit. Its almost exactly what I have been looking for for a good while now. A couple questions if you would entertain. 1) whats the overall width (outside axle) 2) what's the outside wall width 3) estimated tongue weight? 4) what are the wall...

Pretty sure a frame extension puts it closer to a grand cherokee wheelbase, which I believe is rated at 5K? Of course assuming the brakes are upgraded as necessary as well.

Freedom, on Eagles Wings – 2006 Golden Eagle 4.0L, 6 spd A catalogue of my Jeep build for a life of adventure and exploration, and freedom. I’ve always loved Jeeps. As a kid, I remember riding around in my dad’s old CJ7 – we went everywhere. It was slightly modified, but not much, or anything...

Have you sorted out any ideas more yet? I would be curious to hear what you decide on. Looking at some older pics I came across my '90 ranger. It certainly had its issues due to poor engineering, but was a great truck that I miss. Wish I would have kept it to this day. Consicering my...

another option could be having a flatbed extended 6" without having the boxes extended, and mount the pivot on the bed, which would end up putting more weight on the bed springs and possibly raising the center of gravity some. but would reduce weight added to the bumper which will also have a...

Are you in the valley with it? I'm in the area, would love to take a peak before Jan if timing works out. PM me if your in the area

Can't remember if I brought up this discussion or not previously, so starting a new thread. Needing to sort out what to do about a rear bumper. I plan (hopefully soon) to be replacing the stock bed with a flatbed with boxes to allow better storage options, putting a quad in the bed, and having...

My experience with a old 3 piece bamboo rod with maybe a small cassette of flies that works really well. You don't need much to have fun. That being said, the rod is kinda long being a 3 piece. It's a 9' overall I think. But I've only had one pucker moment hitting a low hanging branch. Just...

This truck (and my Jeep) sure has gotten me to more happy places than any other vehicle I had in the past ever did. Can't wait to get it truly finished for more adventures!

Due to some info and pressure from my supervisor to possibly relocate, I took a one day quick drive to rural northern ID to check out the area. Although not having time to stop and chat with local folks, I did get a feel for the ecology and habitat types of the area. A midway point between...

ahh ok well if its both speeds then it hopefully would be valved good. i mean, fox is good stuff....but migth be worth a phone call to them just to verify? I will be in the area around christmas for a week - if you still have issues then we can maybe find a time to take a peak.

Also, food for thought, though it may not help or mean anything to you. From my understanding, a bag that is physically larger, meaning it has higher air reserve capacity, will operate smoother than a bag that is smaller with less air capacity, irregardless of its actual weight holding...

Yeah fox isn't cheap. I know when they went on my jeep, it was a stunning difference! I guess my question regarding it would be, or rather argument, might be that having a big heavy truck ride like a cadi is a tall order. Now, granted my truck rides smoother than my dad's brand new 3500.... I...

is it a rough rid, or do you actually think your fully compressing/extending the suspension? Shocks do wonders, can't remember what shocks you are running though. Part of me wants to say that no matter what a heavy truck will always ride somewhat rough. Case in point I have lighter springs in...

Agreed. I know many folks who have done a ton of through-hikes, or backpack trips just to rack up miles (which I personally despise), and they are always searching for another form of food, or home made freeze dried recipe. The store bought stuff is much better than it was years ago, but it...
